The bug
24w09a introduces a blur to game menu screens. This, however, does not apply to the death screen, despite it not being an "in-game screen" (e.g. inventory or container, see https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/article/minecraft-snapshot-24w09a).
How to reproduce
Die
Expected results
The gameplay behind the death menu would be blurred.
Actual results
It is not. This is inconsistent with the menu shown immediately afterwards if you click the title screen button.
